 Nintendo announced last week that they will cease their representation in Brazil. All consoles and video games distributed by Nintendo will no longer be sold in Brazilian stores due to high tariffs on the products enforced by the country's government.
-These tariffs are enforced in an attempt to have businesses build their own manufacturing plants in the country to stimulate the local economy. Because of this, Nintendo's consoles and games are sold for much higher prices than elsewhere in the word, with the {{bp|Wii U}} retailing for {{wp|Brazilian real|R$}}1,899 (approximately US$722). Nintendo could get around this by building their own manufacturing plant, but this decision makes that option seem unlikely.

 The distribution of Nintendo products elsewhere in South and Latin America is not affected by this decision.
